Sagephora subcarinata is a species of moth in the Tineidae family.[2] It was described by Edward Meyrick in 1931.[3] This species is endemic to New Zealand.[1]

The wingspan is about 11 mm. The forewings are fuscous irrorated darker, with a blackish costal patch from the base to three-fourths, narrow at the base, the posterior edge rather inwards-oblique from the costa and reaching half across the wing, the lower edge margined white except on a short median flange, a blackish discal dot just beyond its angle. The hindwings are grey.[4]
